Louis Black Austin Chronicle Rated: 1/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times I left the movie wondering why the screenplay was even considered filmable. There's nothing compelling about it, nothing original. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Dated '90s comedy has some language. Rated: 2/5 Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant With Life With Mikey, there's a little bit of Christmas in June, and a potential holiday favorite for years to come. Jun 8, 2018 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a forgotten relic within Fox's spotty body of work. Rated: 2/4 May 16, 2016 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 2, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Dale R In this Touchstone release, Michael J. Fox plays a former child actor who is now a talent agent. He comes across a ten year old girl who he thinks could make it as an actress, but she is more trouble than he bargained for. I felt the acting in this movie was very well done. Michael J. Fox, Nathan Lane, Cyndi Lauper and all the child actors did great! Kudos to Christina Vidal as Angie, she really sold her role. I feel the writing is the real problem with this movie. There were several scenes where I felt Michael J. Fox was having problems portraying his character and fell into being Michael J. Fox. I don’t think it was his fault, just a few awkward lines. This leads me to flirt with the idea that he might have been mis-cast in this role. There were too many side characters in this movie that had nothing more to do than be in a scene for a gag. Some plot elements could have benefited from a set up scene earlier in the movie. Overall the story is a little dull and predictable. If you like Michael J. Fox as an actor or the premise sounds good, then check this movie out. Otherwise skip it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Melanie V Classic! This movie was a huge part of my childhood. Watching a strong, young, Hispanic, female lead was a big deal for me growing up. I watched it countless times.

Fox está tão lindo, cativante e apaixonante, pobrezinho, o filme é encantador, Christina Vidal uma princesinha talentosa, química perfeita entre os protagonistas, "pai e filha", as piadinhas são ótimas, e a falta de talento das crianças divertido, coisinhas fofas, esperava uma linda canção com Cyndi Lauper, tudo muito fofinho, deixou o coração quentinho, desnecessária a cena final com as "tortas na cara"... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This family comedy was pretty good. Michael J. Fox, Christina Vidal, Nathan Lane, Cindy Lauper, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The plot to the movie was entertaining and dramatic. It's about giving someone a chance at a great opportunity and making a friend in the process. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. Don't listen to the bad reviews. They have bad tastes in movies. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review steve d A mixed bag but some fun will be had. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
